A New Twist On Cocktail Garnishes

A Sneak Peek At The New PCB Beverage Décor At The Nightclub and Bar Convention

March 17, 2016

Last week, we had the great pleasure of exhibiting at the Nightclub and Bar Convention and Tradeshow in Las Vegas. Having never exhibited at the Nightclub show before, we weren’t really sure what to expect. As it turned out, the Nightclub and Bar Convention was the ideal venue for launching our upcoming line of PCB beverage décor!

With approximately 30,000 attendees at the show and over 700 exhibiting companies, it was a great way to show off innovative and exciting products. Actually, innovative was a word that we heard a lot in reference to our beverage decorations!

Even though the PCB marshmallow beverage décor is not yet available to order, many of our standard catalog items make great drink garnishes, too! Check out our current selection of beverage décor here. And, why stop at just looking at pretty pictures? Below you'll find a recipe for a refreshing and refined springtime cocktail to hold you over while you wait for the big launch.
